For my first article, I looked at a conservative news
feed and how they portrayed Donald Trump. Before reading the article on Fox
News, I was thinking that they would be a little kinder to the man that they
once loved so much going into the election. As many people know, Fox News is a
heavily Republican news station that has been known to stir up some controversy
with the people they have on their show as well as write for them. Just
recently Bill O’Reilly was fired from Fox News for controversial statements
that he made on his show. This leads to the article that I found which was
about Donald Trumps “Buy American-Hire American” deal which enforces one of
Trumps main issues of giving jobs back to “Americans”. A rather short article
with the clip that I have attached up above, Fox News does not go over the top
about supporting this act. Instead it is just a quick couple statements showing
that it had happened and the speech that Trump gave about it. The media has taken
over with the coverage that is being talked about with regards to Trump and his
team. While people on Trumps team such as Kellyanne Conway try to influence the
media to only shine positive light on what Trump does, she is failing
miserably.

The next article that I brought up was from CNN. Known as a primarily liberal news outlet I wanted to see what they had to say about Donald Trump recently in the news. Specifically, the article that I chose was about the exclusion of certain media outlets from the White House press briefings and how it would eventually hurt the Trump team in the long run. While the article was in a negative light towards Donald Trump it is not even close to the most critical article that I have read on a news outlet about the newly elected president. Unfortunately for Trump in the United States reporters have the freedom to speak their mind about what is going on in the political world. Many reporters have taken full advantage of this to voice their opinions on what kind of person they think Trump is along with plenty of other topics. CNN in this article goes into detail about the facts that Trump and his team continuously make up and how it could eventually get him impeached. It makes sense that are writers would argue this. Even if you are the president of our country, we as people can still find a way to impeach him or stand up to the evil that he is spreading

Finally, the third article that I found was from the New York Times. In the article, they argue that CNN was being biased toward Trump in efforts to make more money. Per the New York Times, the news station made just over 1 billion dollars in covering every part of the now president’s campaign trail. Larry King was noted as having said “it was like the other candidates weren’t even there”. Because of this excessive news coverage towards Donald Trump, Michael Grynbaum points out that CNN most likely helped Trump win the Republican candidacy. This article came as big shock to me considering how against Trump I thought CNN to be. It just goes to show you any corporation can be corrupt for more power and money.
